1. INTRODUCTION
BUILDINTEREST aims to improve the financial feasibility and attractiveness of investments in the
energy efficiency through the creation of three national platforms (Italy, France, the Netherlands). Said
platforms are meant to promote structural dialogue between all stakeholders of the sector: architects,
builders, design offices, craftsmen, banks, investment funds and clusters to come up with new
financing offers. They also must facilitate the development of financial tools and instruments that will
enhance the attractiveness of investment in the sustainable building market.
In this context, Bpifrance, the French Public Investment Bank, set out to develop and animate an FR
platform. Tools were implemented during the second year of the project to address some specific
barriers of the FR EE sustainable building sector such as:
o Market fragmentation and lack of dialogue within the same sector
o Investors’ lack of interest in the EE sustainable building sector
o The inadequacy of existing loan offer on EE renovation
o The general audience’s reluctance to engage in renovation works
The organization of the FR platform is the following:
o Bpifrance, supported by PNO Consultants, coordinates the platform and runs the day-to-day activities
o The platform gathers close to 150 stakeholders with various backgrounds o Smaller groups of stakeholders are involved in singular initiatives (pilot project, webinars, e-
pitch session, events etc…)
The report describes on the three technical and financial tools developed within the framework of the
platform, their objectives, their impacts, stakeholder engagement and the potential for replication
from March 2018 to June 2018:
o The online BuildInterest platform
o The renovation pilot project
o The Energy efficiency real estate finance leasing scheme
One year of implementation gave positive results, such as:
o The registration of 149 stakeholders on the online platform
o A total of 144 stakeholders attending the platform events
o Signature of a Memorandum of Understanding by xxx heavyweight stakeholders to carry
out a renovation pilot project
o The definition of a new financial offer: an energy efficiency real estate finance leasing scheme

2. A TRIAD OF TOOLS FOR DEVELOPMENT
2.1. THE ONLINE PLATFORM: ONE PLACE TO GATHER THEM ALL
2.1.1. Context
o Many EE companies develop innovative tomorrow’s solutions but a few truly benefit from the
enough exposure to come forward and/or attract investment (money, project or commercial partners etc…) to move up a gear
o Many investors consider EE investment as risky and unprofitable
o There is great number of actors in the EE sustainable building market but that is also why there
is lack of dialogue between them
o One of the main barriers to energy efficiency measures in buildings is the investment cost per unit of energy saved. Innovation is key to bring these costs down. Increasing investments in innovative companies will thus make EE investments in buildings more attractive.
2.1.2. Description The BuildInterest online community was launched on an already existing online platform called
EuroQuity. EuroQuity1 is the online matchmaking service created in 2008 by Bpifrance to connect the
companies of growth with their development partners. Thought for companies, the platform has
become the reference service for economic development players:
o Companies that wish to strengthen their equity capital,
o Investors: private equity companies, business angels, individual investors seeking investment
opportunities
o Counsel who support them in their procedures
EuroQuity is home to various thematic communities in which economic
actors are involved around common interests. As part of the
BUILDINTEREST initiative, the community was officially launched on April 12th, 2017 to:
o Foster matchmaking between innovative companies and potential investors
o Give greater visibility for companies
o Encourage the development of commercial, industrial and RDI partnerships
1 EuroQuity’s website: https://www.euroquity.com/fr/home
BUILDINTEREST is co-funded by the European Union under Grant agreement number 695996. Page 6 of 26
o Make EE companies “investment ready”
BI online community mainly gathers:
o Innovative SMEs and start-ups in the fields of the energy renovation and sustainable building
in search of visibility. Many have been labelled because of the ingenuity of their solutions
o Public support structures that support the development of sustainable building sector
o Investors looking for start-ups/young SMEs willing to open their capital
BPI ran the day-to-day animation of the community through posting of contents, news and invitations,
moderating exchanges between members and answering questions. Nonetheless, the goal of the
community has always been to encourage spontaneous exchanges between members.
Focus on the online community activities/tools
E-pitching sessions
An online pitch was organized in December 2017 to matchmake EE companies with potential investors. The selected companies went through a session in real-life conditions with an expert commenting afterwards – one week before the event. Experts gave them tips to improve their online presentations. On D-day, the companies showcased their projects and needs for capital on an 8-12 slide PowerPoint
document, visible on every attendee’s computer. Pitches lasted 6 minutes, followed by a Q&A session of 2 to 3 minutes each, in which investors typed questions on the screen. On the next day, all the registered investors get the links to the companies’ profiles on EuroQuity, where they can get the presentation documents from, and contact the manager. Those who could not attend the pitch received a web link to watch the session. Two face-to face pitching sessions took place during the (inter)national events in April 2017 and March 2018 following a similar pattern (save for the web links). Three additional sessions were also held between June 2016 and March 2017.
BUILDINTEREST is co-funded by the European Union under Grant agreement number 695996. Page 7 of 26
(Inter)national events
The BI online community was officially launched back in April 2017 and the international event held in Bpifrance premises on March 9th, 2018 as a part of the BuildInterest Roadshow. For both events, there also were roundtables on EE sustainable building specific issues such as renovation of existing building stock according to
green standards, energy performance in new buildings and access to the market for private players. Key stakeholders took in these discussions such as the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, Cerway, the Smart Building Alliance, UNEP Finance Initiative and the French Federation of Real Estate Buyer Agents to name a few2.
2.1.3. Impact
o 149 stakeholders registered on the online community
o 39 pitching companies
o 144 stakeholders who attended the events
o 97 investors attending pitching sessions
o 89 online visits from investors to check SMEs online profiles following the online pitching
session
o 5 ongoing negotiations between SMEs and investors
2.1.4. Outlooks and potential for replication The BI online community will keep on going after the end of BuildInterest:
o An assessment of the platform will be carried out in the few weeks following the end of the
project in order to improve its organization/running for the next few years, reinforce its added
value and launch additional activities
o Webinars and e-pitch sessions will be held once to twice a year. Each webinar will deal with a
new EE specific subject
o The FR platform will be promoted (event participation, networking etc…) so that even more
stakeholders join the online platform. The number of registered organizations must have
doubled up by June 2019
2 To learn more on both events, see “D 5.3: National event report” and D 5.4 “International Event Report”.
BUILDINTEREST is co-funded by the European Union under Grant agreement number 695996. Page 8 of 26
o Synergies with existing platform/initiatives will be undertaken to promote together solutions
to solve EE renovation/building issues and develop common initiatives
2.2. THE RENOVATION PILOT PROJECT: ONE PRACTICAL CASE TO
SHOWCASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EE RENOVATION 2.2.1. Context
o The renovation pilot project was meant to both address the reluctance of private individuals to
engage in EE renovation works that are perceived as expensive as well as proposing financing solutions better suited to EE constraints
o In addition, setting up renovation works one or two “one-stop shop” EE companies was a way to tackle the market fragmentation issue – aside financial considerations, engaging in renovation often quickly turns into an obstacle course because few companies offer comprehensive packages when private individual may need several types of intervention
2.2.2. Description The pilot action was selected halfway through the BuildInterest project as one of the practical actions
to be implemented during the second year.
Several constraints and specifications were defined to reach these goals as well as underline the added
value of the pilot action:
o 10 renovation works at the least
The initial idea was to start with a pilot project for condominiums, but given the inertia of
condominiums and especially the delays associated with voting on the work at the General Assembly
of condominiums, it seemed more reasonable to move towards individual housing projects. Given the
duration of the project, renovating more than 10 different housings was not realistic – yet 10 was a big
enough number to experiment.
o Reaching the « BBC Renovation » standard3
The BBC label (Low Consumption Building) renovation was launched by the
State in 2009, following the existing label for new housing. In the decree that
defines it, it is specified that this label is intended only for single-family homes
and collective housing built after 1948, put into service for more than 5 years and undergoing
renovation works.

BUILDINTEREST is co-funded by the European Union under Grant agreement number 695996. Page 9 of 26
o Works related costs must be 20% less than the current contract costs
Since the main goals of the action was to prove that EE renovation works may be effective without
being expensive, decreasing the works related costs was a given. However, the notion of “current
contract costs” is not consistent for all cases; its definition and room for improvement depends on the
type of EE service needed and the type of housing.
o Two possible options: « basic » and « premium » offers
There were discussions about providing several technologies from innovative companies registered on
the online platforms so that customers may choose between various options. The costs might have
varied but all in all, the end game remains efficiency.
o Loan type: « home purchase + renovation »
In a context of development of a new loan offer for EE renovation
within the Crédit Foncier, the pilot action was thought to be a golden
occasion to try and implement his new financial scheme. The
financial support provided by the CFF includes the purchase of the
house, renovation works in said house before moving in and “blank
jobs”.
o Renovation related costs must not exceed the purchase costs by more than 25%
The expected range of work costs varies between 20 000 and 30 000 euros.
Above 25%, there is a risk that the mortgage price no longer corresponds to the combination “purchase
price + renovation”.
o Diagnostic phase: 2 months at the most
The limitation was set to keep the offer competitive; a longer diagnosis phase might have scared away
potential customers, who wish to spend as little time as possible out of their new housing.
o Before and after measurements to assess the energy performance/gain
It was about evaluating the energy performance before and after renovation
works to show that the average energy consumption decreases post works.
o Reaching the NF EN 15251comfort standard
Most people do not undertake EE renovation works for the sake of energy-efficiency only, they need
the assurance their new home is more comfortable than the former hence the reference to this EU
based norm that defines indoor environment criteria for the design and evaluation of the energy
BUILDINTEREST is co-funded by the European Union under Grant agreement number 695996. Page 10 of 26
performance of buildings – especially regarding air quality, light, noise, humidity and size of heating
and air conditioning systems.
A clear customer process involving an experienced EE company used to intervene as a project
supervisor was defined in order to attract private individuals. Sweetcom (the project supervisor) and
the Crédit Foncier both agreed on the customer path:
1 o Presentation of the project by the client to Crédit Foncier (type of work and budget)
2 o First validation of the envelope by Crédit Foncier. This would also be an opportunity to make an initial sorting of the files on the basis of what Sweetcom is able to bring (question which will have been settled beforehand according to the real cases sent by Crédit Foncier). The Credit could send the customer a presentation on the pilot project and underline the interest of using Sweetcom's services under this scheme.
3 o Transmission of the file to Sweetcom which appreciates the possibilities of renovation. This diagnostic phase includes a potential eligibility of the client for financial assistance - telephone exchange between the client and Sweetcom.
4 o If the customer and Sweetcom agree, Sweetcom details in a proposal its field of intervention in regard to the customer's wishes: type of possible services - costs - deadlines...
5 o Signature of the loan contract between Crédit Foncier and the client (with Sweetcom's proposal accepted by the client attached)
6 o Launching of the works by Sweetcom according to the modalities described in the proposal
2.2.3. Impact Quantifying the impact of the pilot project in figures during the life of the BuildInterest project is not
possible yet since the pilot action was still a work on progress by the end of the project. Despite that,
the pilot action still generated one positive impact:
o The gathering of key EE sustainable building stakeholders around the table
Implementing the pilot project was the occasion to have a core
group composed of the most relevant FR stakeholders, such as
the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation (CDC), Crédit Foncier de
France (CFF) and Fibres Energivie, working on a practical case
to solve real-life issues. In addition, one the few FR EE
companies able to offer a global renovation package to
customers (Sweetcom) and of the FR first digital cooperative for
energy renovation (Renocoop) were present. Last, the recently

registered Ma Maison en Mieux4 also took part on the initiative and brought its experience the former
shareholder of an EE semi-public company in Northern France. This collaboration resulted on the
drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding, (see Annexure 2.3) a concrete piece of evidence that
stakeholders wished to commit to the initiative. The MoU is currently under signature.
The pilot action also caught the interest of another important stakeholder in the FR sustainable
building landscape, the French Scientific and Technical Centre for Building (CSTB). As part of another
EU project, the CSTB has developed an in situ measurement protocol enabling the overall insulation of
the building to be identified at reception according to a controlled and robust procedure5. The test is
meant to provide the industry with operational, simple, fast, accurate and inexpensive measurement
tools that will enable professionals to measure the impact of collective work. The test is currently being
deployed on houses under construction.
Although the CSTB did not join the pilot action in an official capacity both for organizational reasons
and the heavy price of the test (5 000 to 7 000 euros per house), it offered to apply the test to 1 or 2
houses for free once the selection of housings would be completed.

knowledge dissemination.
Cluster
The Fibres-Energivie competitiveness cluster was born in 2015 from the merger of the Alsace-Energivie and Fibres clusters. It is the only competitiveness cluster dedicated to building materials in French. Focused on the building sector, it brings together all the players in the value chain (from material suppliers to integrators): chemical industry, materials, building design, construction systems industry, energy equipment, construction trades, building maintenance and property development.
EE company
The Sweetcom Group was founded in 2002 by the current Chairman of the Group. As a specialist in energy management, the Group assists individuals and companies in the energy transition; from the detailed diagnosis of housing needs to the proposal of adapted solutions, installation and maintenance.
Ma Maison en Mieux
EE company
Both founders took part in the creation of an EE semi-public company in Northern France – with a participation from the local government. Said company was meant to promote EE renovation work through support, identification of financing solutions and mobilization of a craftsmen network. Building on this experience, two former participants now wish to launch their own EE company.
2.2.4. Outlooks and potential for replication Since the renovation works did not start before the end of BuildInterest, the focus for the next few
months following the project will be on the identification and selection of houses to be renovated, the
diagnosis phase and the measurement of energy performance before the renovation works start.
Once the pilot is finished, there will be another assessment of the average energy consumption post
renovation works, feedback from the customers and an assessment of the overall initiative
(organization, duration, effectiveness of the customer process etc…). Should the results be positive,
Bpifrance, with the support of the stakeholders who took part in the pilot project, will advertise the
action. All will mobilize their respective networks to replicate the project on a bigger scale. A
handbook will be available in two languages so that French and international may rely on practical
recommendations based on real-life cases.

2.3. THE PROPERTY LEASING SCHEME: A NEW FINANCIAL OFFER
FOR OWNERS OF PRODUCTION FACILITIES TO EASE THE
INTEGRATION OF ENERGY RENOVATION WORKS
2.3.1. Context
o When it comes to the current financial landscape for sustainable building, the weakest spot stems from comes the lack of support for companies that owned their production equipment when it comes to EE renovation or its financing remains, despite numerous financing schemes on the market
o Following through Bpifrance sustainable building financing policy
o Keeping up with the objectives fixed by the energy transition law for green growth (TECV6) – especially the goals on decreasing energy consumption and improving the energy performance of the building stock
2.3.2. Description The property leasing offer proposed by Bpifrance aims at encouraging more SMEs and mid-sized
companies to resort to leasing to undertake building acquisition projects incorporating an energy
performance improvement component.
The proposition might be amended until its official validation so the exact details and characteristics
of the offer must remain confidential until its official launch – all the more since the implementation
of the offer depends on passing the next Finance Act (cf 2.3.4. Outlooks and potential for replication).
Talks are being held between Bpifrance and the relevant Ministries7.
2.3.3. Impact Quantification in figures of this new offer may only be possible from 2019 onwards. Main expected
long-term expected impacts are, among other things:
o Modernisation and valuation of companies' real estate assets
o A spill-over effect of other banking establishments, which could gradually deploy this market
offer
o Contribution to regional development and attractiveness through the modernisation and
increased EE performance of professional real estate parks, particularly industrial ones
6« LOI n° 2015-992 du 17 août 2015 relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte ». The law must help strengthening energy independence of the country, reduce French greenhouse gas emissions and give everyone concrete tools to accelerate green growth. 7 More details will be shared with the European Commission, in confidence

2.3.4. Outlooks and potential for replication Bpifrance prepared the leasing proposition and managed to get it on the agenda of the relevant government officials and the parliament. Before the actual implementation though, the Parliament has to pass legislation to determine for a year the nature, amount and allocation of the State's resources and charges, and the resulting budgetary and financial balance: this is the Finance Act. The application of all tax measures depends on this law. Since the scheme Bpifrance wishes to develop on is a fiscal measure, it can only be implemented if included in the next Finance Act – the Act must then be passed by the Parliament. Given the rigid process to follow before the actual implementation of the leasing scheme, the offer is not expected to be applied effectively until 2019.

Buildings produce lots of data: the building management system keeps track of the temperature, the ventilation unit measures CO2 levels and the security system knows if someone is present. All this data is useful on its own, but connect the data with each other, and the results are extremely powerful. Suddenly, one knows the amount of energy it takes the installation to create a comfortable and healthy indoor climate. One can make cleaning rounds more efficient by designing it on occupancy patterns. And best of all, one can automatically set out actions for improvement.
FR Toi-Sol developed a new solar recovery heat system relying on rooftiles as solar panels. Heat is recovered through tiles that have an ordinary exterior appearance. Thus, here the "solar collectors" are the tiles, and from a semantic point of view, it is not to confuse them with the solar collectors of the solar panels. The tiles thus acquire a double function, namely to ensure the roofing of the building - the laying of the tiles remaining classic - and absorb heat from solar rays, but also from the ambient environment and water droplets, to then transfer it to a heat transfer network installed below.

Sylfen, in partnership with the French Research Center on nuclear power, has developed a secure storage technology that can store very large quantities of energy. By combining hydrogen with traditional batteries, we can now safely store the amount of energy needed for any building. Thanks to hydrogen, a carbon-free energy carrier that can be used both to power clean fuel cell vehicles and to produce electricity and heat in cogeneration for the buildings, eco-neighbourhoods or cities of tomorrow, we can now rely on intermittent energy sources.

Article 1 - Objet du Memorandum
Le présent Mémorandum vise à définir les rôles et les attributions entre les Parties pour la réalisation
d’un projet « pilote » de rénovation énergétique de logement dans le cadre du projet européen H2020
CSA BUILDINTEREST.
Commencé en avril 2016, ce projet de deux ans est destiné à mettre en œuvre des solutions
opérationnelles pour augmenter l’attractivité des investissements dans la filière Construction durable
et efficacité énergétique.
L’objectif premier de BUILDINTEREST est de servir d’aiguillon à la création d’une communauté de
toutes les parties prenantes du bâtiment durable et de l’efficacité énergétique qui n’ont aujourd’hui
pas de moyens structurés de communiquer entre elles.
La première année du projet a été consacrée à la validation d’une roadmap identifiant les barrières,
moteurs et des solutions opérationnelles au sous-investissement dont souffre le secteur en France. La
deuxième année est dédiée à la mise en place de solutions concrètes identifiées dans la roadmap. Pour
la plateforme française, la solution retenue consiste en la réalisation de travaux de rénovation
énergétique dans le cadre d’un projet pilote.
Article 2 - Objectifs du projet Pilote
Le but de ce projet pilote est la mise en place de chantiers de rénovation énergétique au cours de l’année 2017/2018 par des opérateurs employant des technologies matures et peu coûteuses sur du logement résidentiel, qui feront l’objet d’un soutien financier adapté aux conditions particulières de la rénovation. Article 3 - Spécifications du Pilote
Les présentes parties se sont entendues sur les neuf spécifications suivantes :
i. Le projet pilote vise la réalisation a minima de 10 rénovations sur du logement résidentiel;
ii. Les rénovations opérées devront tendre vers un standard « BBC » Rénovation – équivalent neuf ;
iii. Les coûts des travaux devront être inférieurs de 20% par rapport à ceux du marché si possible ;
iv. Les opérateurs privilégieront des technologies d’efficacité énergétique simples et sûres mais devront aussi tenter d’intégrer dans la mesure du possible des technologies plus pointues identifiées dans le cadre du projet BUILINTEREST ou par l’une de ses plateformes ;
v. Les opérateurs tenteront de se rapprocher autant que possible de la norme NF EN 15251 relative au confort des particuliers
BUILDINTEREST is co-funded by the European Union under Grant agreement number 695996. Page 25 of 26
vi. Le soutien financier ne se déroulera que dans le cadre d’opération de prêt « acquisition + rénovation » ;
vii. L’enveloppe de la rénovation devra être limitée à 25% maximum du coût d’achat du bien ;
viii. La phase d’étude et de diagnostic sera limitée à 2 mois maximum ;
ix. La garantie de la performance énergétique portera sur des mesures thermiques réalisées avant et après les travaux par les opérateurs ;
Article 4 – Répartition des rôles
i. Le Crédit Foncier et FIBRES ENERGIVIE identifient des dossiers de type « acquisition + rénovation » et proposeront à leur clients ou contacts de participer au projet.
ii. Le Crédit Foncier propose un financement adapté intégrant une enveloppe de travaux « en blanc ».
iii. L’agrégateur de service SWEETCOM propose des solutions adaptées au projet du (des) clients identifiés par le Crédit Foncier ou FIBRES ENERGIVIE, intégrant si possible des variantes de ces technologies. SWEETCOM intervient comme seul maître d’œuvre des travaux dans le cadre du projet et propose un processus de rénovation sur la base de l’enveloppe de travaux validée par le Crédit Foncier.
iv. Bpifrance et PNO n’interviennent qu’en tant que coordinateurs et facilitateurs du développement du projet pilote.
v. FIBRES ENERGIVIE, QUARTUS, RENOCOOP et MA MAISON EN MIEUX n’interviennent que comme observateurs du projet pilote. MA MAISON EN MIEUX pourra toutefois adresser à SWEETCOM ou au Crédit Foncier des prospects identifiés au travers de son réseau.
Article 5 - Responsabilités
Il est précisé que les présentes parties ne sont tenues que par une obligation de moyen. Il est notamment attendu des opérateurs de travaux qu’ils aient recours à des technologies simples, tout en intégrant des variantes de ces technologies à chaque fois que cela sera possible et qu’ils se conforment à l’obligation de vérification de performance intrinsèque ainsi que celle de la vérification de la bande passante de la consommation énergétique.
